my mother died today. in one tiny, last breath she was gone from this earth.when she opened her eyes she was looking at daddy, her charles, and all the people in her whole life who loved her. they were waiting for her at the gate. yes, i've been a little jealous all day trying to imagine how wonderful it was and what she's doing now. and how happy my father is to have her there with him. i wanted to be "in on it", too. i can see him taking her around and showing her all the beautiful things that are made with precious stones....the very ones that he loved on this earth. i think of all the people that i know that she's talking with now. i think of daddy, young and vibrant again. of mother, free from this earthly stuff.
freedom. love. forever.
i think of Jesus. actually i see Him standing back, just enjoying the scene. i'll bet He gets to do this every day, all the time. and then when all the excitement dies down a little, someone turns and then all heads turn..... and there He is. and He smiles. at her. and she smiles back. He holds His precious hands out and she runs ....straight to Him.
she only died in her earthly body. now she's done with it. now she knows, not in part, but the whole. what do people do who don't believe in Jesus? i want everyone i know and love to come to Him and be saved. to be forever with the Lord. to live happily ever after. with Him. that's the only way it works.
here's what i know ~ life is about Love. relationship. it's all that matters. all the rest will be burned up and blown away.
thank You, Lord, for being so sweet to me. i can't figure it out but You keep doing things for me that are simply amazing. me. ME. thank You for giving me the desire of my heart....to be with her when she left this world. to share in that most sacred moment. just she and i. alone.
You are worthy! i love You so.
good-bye, mother. i'll see you soon. and daddy, too.
